We ran up to Port McNeil the next day, delaying our departure so we'd reach Current Passage an hour before the end of the ebb flow. There isn't normally much flood current beyond Helmchen Island, but we did find some given the big Spring tides.
We always prefer to stay at the fuel dock moorage at Port McNeil instead of the public marina. Steve, who owns the fuel dock, the laundramat and the movie theater, is expanding his docks and will have 1900 feet of moorage this summer. We arrived while he was still installing his summer docks, and given he didn't have the power on yet, he let us stay for free. The next day, he had a pile driver barge there to move the dock we were tied to and to install it further out, so we untied and scooted over to the public marina. The weather guys were predicting a gale in Queen Charlotte Strait and Sound, so we decided to sit that out by staying in Port McNeil for a few days.
